The difference between a crappy standard office chair and a relatively inexpensive ($200-300) one that suits me well and has a strong enough tensioning system was night and day for my back. The $150 officemart char with the wide and tall back, did wonders for my comfort as well; but the tensioner for the tilt system was too weak and my fat backside crushed it to death in relatively short order.
I haven't been impressed with the durability of any of the chairs I've bought - none lasted more than a few years before having some sort of major wear - but I'm unwilling to drop $1k on a chair without trying it out, and I can't find anyone selling big/tall chairs in retail closer than a full days drive each direction. (Being stuck with a $250 chair that didn't suit my back and for which I couldn't return because the cylinder was permanently friction locked into the wheel base preventing the required disasembly was bad enough.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I spent $500 USD on my chair. It was worth every penny. It has a 12 year 24 hour/day warranty which means three shifts of people can sit in it continuously for 12 years. It's 10 years old and looks brand new. Very comfortable but alas no fart muffler.

Reduces heat build up, which is another "nicer" way of saying it allows your farts to pass through your chair more freely, thus reducing heat build up on your bum.

I have an elastic band chair[^] and I find it rather comfortable. It might not be for everyone, though.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The look reminds me of cheap lawn furniture my parents had 25-30 or so years ago that was always trying to pinch you in the gaps between bands. IIRC they were a non-stretchy plastic; but I might've just been too small to give any stretch from them.

I followed the link and was told I should use SQL server exclusively.

I use my piano stool as my desk chair - it is great as I have to sit up straight and it is quite comfortable.
I realise it's a bit of an eccentric suggestion but sometimes chairs with poor back support are worse than having no back support.

That must be a bitch when you lean back. 
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell

Spend the money, get something that is comfortable and supports your back! Our office went for the cheap seats, bloody uncomfortable and would not rise enough so my legs were horizontal.
Bought a $400 one from Ikea of all places and have been happy with it for 5 years so far.

If I had had a girl, I would have wanted to name her Cassiopeia. I think it's a beautiful name.

I posted the mile long post below, and almost at the same time, one of my friends (who's not on CP AFAIK) sends me THIS[^] on Farcebook.
Just another creepy coincidence!??!?
